CSS Icon Set Revolution

A revolution has come that is about building Icon set in pure CSS. It may look like a magic first time. How CSS only can produce Icon set.

CSS Icon set has a distinct advantage. It avoids loading images which are used to load various icons. Even sprite image was bigger due to various icons in it. It is far better than base64 encoded images as this does not take that much bytes. Base64 take more bytes than images.

Disadvantage of CSS only icon set is that it may not be supported in browser. All modern browser support this.

Icons used here in sidebar and below the post is made in CSS3 only. If you can see icons there then your browser is supporting CSS icon.
